Guest Speakers
Growing in Faith and Trust (Luke & Bev Vos)
In this service we had an interview with Luke & Bev Vos who serve with Pioneers in Uganda, and we had a message from Luke about growing in faith & trust. The three questions Luke left us with at the end of his message are: 1. Does hardship/stress/suffering/loss draw you closer to God or cause you to pull away? 2. What (or who) is your foundation in life? 3. How is God growing you in Christ-like character? Connect with us…

Everyone in the image of God (Phil Sproul)
Phil Sproul shared a message about how everyone is made in the image of God. While we are often confused about the value of people who are different than us, we understand that everyone is loved by God and in need of his salvation. In heaven we will find people from every tribe, nation and language. These truths help us realise how we should live and how we should treat people each day.

My Jesus Story (with Donna Savill)
Three times in John’s gospel we read about people being invited to ‘Come and see’ Jesus. “Come and see,” Jesus said. (1:39)“Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied. (1:46)“Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” (4:29) We are invited to come to Jesus and experience him for ourselves. The best posture for us with Jesus is to:* Come surrendered* Come seeking* Come with a soft heart Connect with us…
